In the event of severe weather it is advisable to call ahead. The Registry of Deeds follows the State Court schedule of holiday closures.

Our records are available in traditional bound volumes and can be viewed on our computer system. Our indexes are compiled using a true grantor index (the person giving the deed, mortgage etc) and grantee index (the person receiving a deed, discharge of mortgage etc).
